Richards ready to step back in time for Wasps

TO HAVE grown up alongside Jonny Wilkinson would be an education in fly half play. Not so for Peter Richards and Mark Wilkinson, who find themselves thrust into the unfamiliar No 10 shirt this weekend. In their early rugby days with Farnham, there was always the little lad who liked kicking goals at fly half. Today, however, Richards, the London Wasps scrum half, moves out a position for his team’s game away to Rotherham this afternoon. Tomorrow, the older Wilkinson brother, normally a centre, starts at fly half for Newcastle Falcons against Leeds Tykes.
